PlateUp!

About the game

PlateUp! blends kitchen chaos and restaurant management with strategic planning and development in a roguelite format. A team of up to four can build an eatery from scratch, pick dishes, acquire equipment and arrange it so that appliances link into automated cooking lines. The same cooking and serving duties can be handled alone or with others, locally or online. Between shifts the premises expand and develop, and progression unlocks extra content and challenges. The aim is to survive 15 days of cooking, serving and managing in order to unlock a brand-new franchise. Every restaurant is procedurally generated with its own climate, customers and conditions, and the franchise HQ lets players check achievements, customise characters and upgrade their kit.
